I know the stock shocks on my 08 2wd suck!! Too soft and the truck will change lanes in a curve if you hit a hard bump. I will probably use the Rancho RS5000 shocks on mine. I likes them on my 01 F150 I had. Stiff, but not too harsh.

With the front struts you need to support the front end while relieving pressure off the front suspension. Take the entire strut assembly off of the truck, compress the spring and then take the strut out and put the new strut in the spring. Then put the assembly back on teh truck. Not too bad, but harder than a regular shock.

I wish I had your guy's problem of a soft suspension...mine brings back memories of riding in the back of a POS 5 ton.

I went and bought the Bilsteins from the local guy. For 8 bucks I will go with the local supplier. I did not see the post about the one free. That sucks.
Hopefully I will be able to do these this weekend and I will try to take pics and do a write up.
